REPORT: Green Injured, Out Tonight and Probably Tomorrow

Saturday mornings are usually a nice time to take it easy and forget about your worries. Unfortunately for Red Wings fans, this morning we learned our dream Trade Deadline might be more of a dream than we initially thought.

As long as he is healthy by the end of this week, we can all rest easy.

Green is the only player on this Red Wings team that we know for sure will be gone come February 26th. Hopefully this injury doesn’t change that – or his selling price.

On most “Trade Bait” lists, Green is the top defenceman and he currently deserves that spot.

29 points in 56 games this year makes him 5th among all Red Wings players this year and 29th among all defenceman in the league. He is also 14th among defenceman in Power Play Assists, with 12.

A significant amount of his points coming on the man advantage, but if you’re a team looking for a deep playoff run, a Power Play quarterback could be just the thing you need to take advantage of those opportunities.
